switch_prompt # 

[Current VCI Bits]

Current VCI bits are derived from the VPI/VCI 
set closest to the configured, as well as active, 
VPI/VCI sets. Used by the software when 
generating VPIs and VCIs. Often equal to active 
VCI bits.

0-12

12

[Current In Use VCCs]

Number of current VCCs (virtual channel 
connections), end-to-end connections of either 
SVCs (switched virtual circuits) or PVCs 
(permanent virtual circuits) in use.

0-4096

16

[Current Max VCCs]

Maximum number of current VCCs, end-to-end 
connections of either SVCs or PVCs.

[PortNumber] <portnumber>

[MaxVPIBits] <cfgmaxvpibits>

[MaxVCIBits] <cfgmaxvcibits>

[InterfaceAddressType] 

<intfaddrtype>

Administrator

Changes maximum VPI and VCI bits, and the interface 
address type, for a given port configuration. [MaxVPIBits] 
and [MaxVCIBits] can be changed only to one of four 
VPI/VCI sets predefined in the system—0/12, 2/10, 4/8 or 
6/6. If you want to deviate from these predefined options, 
enter

.

[PortNumber] <portnumber>

All

Displays configuration and signaling status of a specified 
port or all ports. The status of a port is based on its signaling 
status. Because of this—even when a port is reported as 
being down—there may still be active PVCs on the port. 
You will see more details with this command when you 
specify a particular port, rather than accepting the ALL 
default. The alternative is to add

 after the command. For
